Fortune Bouquet

The traditional toss bouquet, when caught, tells one lucky receiver little more than that she will be the next to wed. But this distinctive toss bouquet is made up of a cluster of smaller bouquets, each bearing its own secret fortune that offers more detailed information about future husbands to a few agile guests. We used roses, calla lilies, and ranunculuses.

Calla Lilies

For a sophisticated bride, a sheaf of miniature white calla lilies is a good option. Flat on top and tapered at the bottom, the bouquet is designed so the stems make as strong a statement as the blossoms. The flowers are bound with a rubber band that is covered by a 1 1/2-inch-wide length of grosgrain. Folded into a flat bow, it is secured with a button covered in the same ribbon. The stems are cut at a 45-degree angle.

Lily of the Valley

This bouquet has a variety of textures and colors, thanks to the mix of muscari (grape hyacinth), lamb's ear, lily of the valley, andromeda, helleborus, thyme, rosemary, sage, and scented-geranium foliage.

Tuxedo Bouquet

Bouquets inspired by the tuxedo's colors are elegant and surprising. An armful of white flowers, including 'Majolica' spray roses, lily of the valley, ranunculus, freesia, lisianthus, and sweet peas, is bound with a black-and-white sash tied in a grand bow.

An exquisite all-white cascade like this one, fashioned from roses, sweet peas, ranunculus, and tiny lily of the valley would be fitting for just about any bride in any setting.

Exotic Beauty

Painterly Bouquet

This clutch of shapely blooms in tones of cream and white recalls a Victorian posy while befitting a modern bride. The taupe ribbon of silk satin brings out the soft caramel tones of the calla lilies and tulips; papery sweet peas lend a blousy feeling, and anemones, with their black centers, add contrast.

Graceful Sweep

This slender clutch of miniature calla lilies has elegance to spare. Each hood is streaked with shades of lavender. The long, graceful stems are cuffed with a dusky-purple taffeta ribbon held in place with four lavender glass-topped floral pins.
